S. J. SMITH, Pres. TO BEAUTIFY TOWNS, National Campaign to Spread Gospel of Municipal Art. LOCAL SOCIETIES TO BE AIDED Movement Btarted- by a Municipal Art to Give Praotical Suggestions of Value In Improving Towns—Sign Nuisances to Be Fought. Here Js a plan by which the residents of any town or village may learn how to improve their communities or beau tify their ugly sections: The Municipal Art society of New York intends to spread the gospel of municipal art so far as possible among the cities and towns of the whole of the United States, says the New York Tribune. It will not only help to organ ize local municipal art societies wher ever possible, but whenever an invita tion is extended to it it will give prac tical suggestions that will be of value In the beautification of a town or city. Announcement regarding this move ment started by the society was made recently by Louis 11. Cornish of New York, chairman of the lecture commit tee. “We will try to inform people outside of New York about improvements we are trying to make here.” Mr. Cornish said. “Any town or city that would like to have us send n man to deliver a lecture on municipal art, which will be Illustrated with handsomely colored sterooptlcon slides on a par with those of the board of education lectures, will be accommodated. We will aid the lo cal women’s village Improvement so cieties and show them how to make a model village and when Invited to do so will send expert men to different towns, even to the far west, to ad vance In a practical way the cause of municipal art. “There are places of historic Interest In many little towns which are not ap preciated. We are willing to show the residents how’ they can be beauti fied at little expense. Wo will light the sign nuisances along the lines of the railroads and aid In tho sanitary cleaning up of towus. We will get in touch with boards of trade nnd enlist their Interest In the organization of lo cal municipal societies. "This Is an untried field, but we feel ! that the country Is ripe for it I shall prepare lectures on municipal art and have half a dozen assistants w’ho, as well as I. will go from town to town when requested to do so nnd deliver them. Illustrated with sterooptlcon views. We will send printed informa tion on municipal art even to a little farming district If requested. We will also try to have free lecture courses established In different towns visited whenever It Is possible. “City and town officials who would like to have the aid of the Municipal Art society are Invited to address me ou the subject at the home of the so ciety In the National Arts club build ing. 119 East Nineteenth street.

You’d swear off. too. If you were In Hudson’s place—that Is, If a coal mine owner with mllllous should offer you $230,000 t& cut out red liquor, says n Hudson correspondent of the Toledo N'ews-Boe. The coal man who is to come down so' handsomely for Hudson Is J. W. Ellsworth. He was born and grew to manhood In Hudson. He conceived the Idea that Hudson should be a model residence town. But he dkl not want to create this model town In a place where Intemperance reigned. So when he made his proposition to Mayor Er nest L. Filllus and later to the council he Inserted several provisos. The first was that no liquor should be sold. In return for temperance Ells worth pledged himself to provide the village with an electric light plnut. a waterworks and a sewage system, all to cost $230,000. without a penny of expense to the property Owners. He also promised other improvements, not ably the rehabilitation of the old West ern Reserve university buildings. Mayor Fllllns and the counctlmon passed nn ordinance to submit the wet or dry question to the citizens. There were three saloons In town, and the liquor dealers put tip a hard fight, but the election just voted the town dry by two to one. And so, Hudson having signed the pledge, Mr. Ellsworth's money will be gin to flow In, and early next spring the improvements will be started with a rush.
